A couple decades ago, when abortion was illegal, thousands of women died because they did not want to bear an infant and attempted to terminate the child's life by themselves or with an unprofessional approach (http://www.plannedparenthood.org/library/ABORTION/Roe.html). After the 1973 United States Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision, which allowed women to have the choice of abortion, thousands of women were saved. However, there are plenty of people who think that abortion is equal to killing a human being. I strongly believe that abortion should be allowed in all countries because every child should be a wanted child, abortion is a personal decision, and abortion procedures are medically safe.

There is a quite large group of people called "anti-abortionists." Their main point is to convince others that abortion should be illegal. They argue that abortion is a sort of murder, it is dangerous, and that every human being (even unborn) has the right to live. These arguments sound very strong and persuasive for a person who doesn't know much about abortion. However, I assume that after you finish reading this essay, you will conclude that they are blind and really don't want to see the real advantages of abortion. My arguments show real comparisons of both sides; there are no tricks because facts are on my side.

Every year thousands of children come into our world. Unfortunately, some of them are coming unwanted. In some cases, parents don't have money, support or a place to raise a child. They don't want to have a baby, but they don't have a choice. That's how an unwanted child is born. TIME Magazine claimed that there are at least 6 million unwanted pregnancies in the U.S. each year (TIME, Feb. 26, 1990, p. 94). Furthermore, it happens frequently that unwanted children are in a condition that makes it almost impossible for them to be successful in the future. Those against abortion may argue that people...

...Shouldabortion be allowed on demand?
Abortion is when the pregnancy is intentionally terminated to stop a natural child birth. In 1967 the Abortion Act was passed in the UK. It states that an abortion may only be carried out if the woman is under 24 weeks pregnant and has one of the following complications: If the pregnancy was continued it would risk the mother’s life more than f it was ended, the termination is necessary to avoid severe permanent injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman, If the pregnancy went on it would involve more risk to the pregnant woman or her family’s mental or physical health. There is proof that the child, if born, would be seriously handicapped. Or if born, the woman would require lifesaving care, or care to stop permanent mental or physical injury. Abortion is a highly sensitive and controversial topic, and many views and opinions are explored.
Members of the major world religions oppose abortion. For example Roman Catholics, who strongly oppose the use of abortion, and think it is a moral evil. They liken abortions to killing an innocent and go by the 6th of the Ten Commandments “thou shalt not kill”. Although in the past the Pope has said that having an abortion before you feel the foetus move is only killing a potential human, but killing a baby afterwards is a...

WhyAbortionShould Be Illegal
Many people around the world view abortion as a normal life event for many women. However, people are unaware of the psychological effect this leaves on the women. More is lost than just a baby. Mind, body, and loved ones can also be involved in effects from an abortion. The father and society as a whole are two other large things to consider into the situation of abortion. More than likely abortion has occurred or been related to every person in some way considering that “One baby is aborted every 26 seconds in the United States.” (Minnesota Citizens)
Christopher Jacoby tells us in his article, “Side Effects of Abortion,” that “The thought of abortion for some women can be a source for emotional and mental disorder. Many women see that they have the choice to decide.” (Jacoby) However, there are other people involved. Abortion not only affects the women that have them. The psychological effects of an abortion affect the mother, father and society and therefore abortionshould be illegal.
The first person that comes to mind when thinking about an abortion is the mother. She is the person who will have to suffer the physical pain of birthing a child. The woman is...

ABORTION 2
Abstract
Abortions have been legal in the United States since 1973 after many lawsuits. Now there are controversial issues surrounding the topic ofabortion. Is it right or is it wrong? Many people believe that it is wrong, but there should be exceptions when it comes down to it. There is also the issue of human rights and no legislators should be able to tell a woman what she should or should not do to her body. It should be the choice of the woman and most women make the right choices when it comes to a baby inside them.

WhyShouldAbortion Be Legal?
In 1971 a young mother challenged Taxes and their abortion laws. By 1973 abortion was legal. There are several ways to extract an unborn human child from the womb. What does life mean to those who have an abortion and those who have not had an abortion? There are several advocates that are pro-live and pro-abortion some are groups, individuals, authority figures, and people in high positions in and out of the legal system. Right now there are laws banning second trimester or more abortions. Women have the right by law to abort their unborn child in the United States with not repercussions for her or her doctor.
A single pregnant woman brought a class action suit challenging Texas law prohibiting abortions except when medically advised with the purpose of saving the mother’s life. Roe was the single mother in this case and Henry Wade was one of the attorneys that argued the case in Texas’s defense. First Roe vs. Wade was argued in the Supreme Court on December 13, 1971 it was reargued in October 11, 1972 and again on January 22, 1973. It was declared the plaintiff’s ninth and fourteenth amendment rights have been void as vague and over broadly...

...Whyabortionshould be illegal
An abortion is the medical process of ending a pregnancy so it does not result in the birth of a baby. Abortion has always been a major issue of discussion in our society and there are always different opinions on abortion. I am against this practice and I think abortionshould be illegal.
To start with, it is false to claim that no one knows when life begins and dishonest to argue that abortion does not kill a human being. Every new life begins at conception. This is a known fact of biology. It is true for animals and true for humans. No matter what the circumstances of conception, no matter how far along in the pregnancy, abortion always ends the life of an individual human being.
Prominent defenders of abortion rights publicly admit that abortion kills human beings. They are not saying that abortion is morally defensible because it doesn't kill a distinct human entity. They are admitting that abortion does kill a distinct human entity, but argue it is morally defensible anyway.
Personhood is properly defined by membership in the human species, not by stage of development within that species. A living being's designation to a species is determined not by the stage of development but by the sum of its biological...

I believe abortionshould be legal because I feel that every woman has the right to do what they want with their own body. Abortion is the termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo prior to viability. (Grimes, 2013). Abortion is not a laughing matter and I believe when a women comes to a conclusion that they need to terminate a pregnancy they have realized the outcome of their decision. Many women are faced to terminate a pregnancy do to rape, financially, or just not ready. All these conclusions need to be thought out before allowing it to physically or mentally affect you.
Abortion is a very serious matter especially when you are dealing with a human being. I believe someone who is physically attacked and becomes pregnant should have the decision to terminate the pregnancy. People need to understand that there are women that were victims of rape who do not wish to keep the baby. It is not the woman's fault that the woman got pregnant. It is understandable if a woman chooses not to keep her baby in this situation. It could be because of the emotional trauma, or because she doesn't want to be constantly reminded of the fact that she was a rape victim when she sees her child.
Rape is one of the most traumatic events an individual can experience. We ought to do everything possible to assuage the suffering of...

Should Women Be in Combat?

Should Women be in Combat?
According to a poll on November 9, 2012 68% of the American public thinks women should be allowed in combat roles (Should women be allowed, 2012). Women should not be in combat roles in the military because they have different mental/emotional needs, they require additional logistic support, they are not as physically capable as men, and would be a threat to unit cohesiveness. While all women will not fall into every one of these categories, it is a necessity for women to have additional logistic support, and they will more than likely be a threat to unit cohesiveness. Some women can be as capable as men, but for the most part, this is not so. All combat units need to consist of a cohesive, well-disciplined, force able to complete assigned missions with minimal support.
Regardless of what the general population thinks, women would not work effectively in a combat position. The public thinks that certain women may be as efficient as a man, when it comes to physicality and mentality. It is true that all men are not as physically or mentally fit as some men in combat roles, but that is a good reason they are not in a combat position. Many people also think that standards will not have to be lowered if women are...

...1.many religion as islam or Christian does not permit us to do abortion
(Our religion doesn't permit us for that. And for the sake of argument that she wouldn't forget her past if she has that baby well. After abortion what shall she do. Live in the dark and that rapist is looking for another victims. In my religion (Islam) abortion is forbidden. Lekin like Simi said I was exactly thinking of rape and stuff, what if the woman is like raped and got pregnant like that. However Islam says that a woman should not be going outside or to certain places where there is no mehram to go with her (something like that I am not quoting anything here by the way, its what I have come to know through discussions and stuff I have read). So why was the woman alone at that time when she got raped, what position was she in? I mean I know its not nice for the woman, I understand I am a woman myself. But its just, it makes you think?)
(the women pregnant is the give of God, so they should not do abortion.
woman was pregnant and the doc's found out her baby had a heart problem and they said she ownt live long, maybe a few months so its better you have it removed. The woman said no, Allah gave me this child and I will keep it and take care of it. So she had the baby, spent most of the time in hospital with her (it was a girl) and the baby has had like 3 heart surgeries(major ones) and she is...
